Chapter 1427: 1326, Ashley

“What’s going on now?”

“Why is it blacked out again?”

In an instant, Giant Rock City, which had just quieted down a bit, was again up in arms.

Another live broadcast incident?

Previously, the public network never had issues with live broadcasts, not even during the initial, most trafficked, council broadcasts.

It is worth noting that the first council broadcast had an online viewing audience not any smaller than this auction.

Why are there so many incidents this time?

Is it an issue with the public network, or did something happen on Reitdoz’s end?

The clamor of the Stone People resounded through the skies once more, everyone getting riled up for the second time.

Su Yu swiftly moved to the window of the room, his gaze casting towards the direction of the auction venue, while his spiritual power reached out in the same direction.

Su Yu’s spiritual power was fully capable of covering the auction venue, after all, it was only a few kilometers away.

However, as a matter of courtesy, he had avoided exploring in that direction with his spiritual power.

Now, he extended his spiritual power over there to inquire Reitdoz about what happened and if they needed assistance.

Reitdoz quickly sensed the spiritual power Su Yu reached out with.

He immediately sent information back to Su Yu, indicating that everything at the auction venue was normal, and he didn’t know why the broadcast incident had occurred.

After receiving the message, Su Yu felt a bit more settled.

He looked up into the sky outside the window.

Could it be that enemies are causing mischief?

But then, where might these enemies be hiding?

It was at this moment that an exclamation suddenly reached Su Yu’s ears!

It came from Cat Morning Star.

Meow!

Morning Star’s cry was very urgent.

She stretched out her paw towards the live broadcast, saying in haste, “Nemesis, Nemesis, look quickly, who is that?!”

Su Yu immediately returned his gaze to the live broadcast screen.

Just catching sight of the content, he was immediately shocked.

What’s going on?

How could this happen?

Meanwhile, the commotion in Giant Rock City outside the window erupted once again!

Boom!

It felt like the whole of Giant Rock City was about to explode. The volume of the noise was higher than the previous times, even more than double!

The entire city was shocked, no one expected the situation to turn out like this.

…

Returning to the live broadcast,

the screen, after going dark, still did not switch back to Reitdoz’s main perspective; it remained pitch black.

But within this darkness, a Holy Silver female figure with a purple veil over her head and cloaked in purple robes slowly emerged on the screen.

Actually, there was no need for the Holy Silver female figure to wear a purple veil.

For at the moment of her appearance, she seemed to be shrouded in a mist.

This mist was very unusual; at least with the capabilities of Su Yu and Morning Star, they couldn’t see through it, nor could they discern the face beneath the veil of the Holy Silver female figure.

But just at the sight of her image, a name immediately sprang to their minds–Ashley, it was actually Ashley!

Ashley had appeared in the live broadcast!

Ashley was the most powerful Prophet at the Fige Hub, two ranks higher than the Central Bank Governor Andrew*Soren.

After the disappearance of the hymn, Ashley went into complete seclusion, uninterested in forming her own power base.

Aside from occasionally participating in the Fegel Council gatherings, there was no news of her.

However, she is appearing in the live broadcast of the auction right now!

Although her face isn’t clear, just by her attire, everyone can immediately confirm that it is indeed her.

Why would Ashley show up here?

This surprised everyone; who could have thought of this?

Consequently, all the major cities of the Hub erupted with astonished exclamations, much louder than the previous two times!

Watching the live broadcast, Su Yu was just as shocked as everyone else.

Ashley? How could she appear here?

Wait a minute? Could it be that the sudden interruption of the live auction broadcast was caused by her?

But why would Ashley interrupt the auction? Is she a friend or foe?

Cat Morning Star was even quicker, leaping onto Su Yu’s shoulder, her body trembling slightly: “Nemesis, Nemesis, what on earth is going on?”

Su Yu opened his mouth but said nothing.

At this moment, Ashley in the live broadcast began to speak: “Ladies and gentlemen, I am Ashley.”

As soon as Ashley spoke, the deafening noise from outside Giant Rock City vanished instantly.

Everyone stopped shouting, and for a moment, the entire city was eerily quiet!

“The reason for interrupting this auction is due to an emergency situation,” Ashley explained slowly.

Ashley’s voice was very soft and pleasant, filled with endless mystery–as if imbued with an indescribable magical power that resonated in everyone’s eardrums.

It was apparent that she was deliberately making her voice sound ordinary; otherwise, the magical power bursting from her speech might be too much for ordinary people to handle.

She gently said: “In fact, three days ago, I had already deduced something using the ‘Lenat Prophecy Algorithm’–that today’s auction would be attacked!

And sure enough, the attack has just occurred.”

“Lenat Prophecy Algorithm”?!

Hearing this term, Su Yu’s gaze slightly sharpened.

Su Yu was not a Prophet; he was of the Space System and didn’t really understand Prophecy Skill.

But he had read through the biographies of Stellar Level powerhouses in his spare time.

Ashley’s biography mentioned the “Lenat Prophecy Algorithm.”

This was a form of Prophecy Skill passed down to her by her mentor, which had been improved through multiple iterations.

It was a high-standard prophecy with significant demands, the type that requires a certain sacrifice to perform.

This “sacrifice” refers to either vitality or strength.

Ashley rarely used such Prophecy Skills, as they came with a price, and even she could not afford to pay it multiple times.

But who would have thought that Ashley would use it on the auction? Was there a need to?

To be honest, Su Yu might not be able to afford such a service even if he offered ten billion Holy Silver Coins!

Why would Ashley do this?

And, the latter part of Ashley’s statement also shocked him.

The auction was actually attacked?

Who is the enemy?

At this time, the exclamations of the Stone People resonated outside Giant Rock City once again. However, this time the exclamations were not loud, as everyone wanted to hear what Ashley would say next, so the noise quickly subdued.

Ashley did not keep people in suspense.

She declared candidly: “This attack came from the outside, from the Dark Energy Rebel Army. They tried to interfere with the auction, but their specific motives are unclear.

Just now, Speaker Lemo and I acted together to repel the invading enemies. The enemy has retreated, and the auction can continue.”

With that, Ashley paused.

But just then, the discussion outside exploded once again.

Cat Morning Star also widened her eyes incredulously looking at Su Yu: “Nemesis, has the Dark Energy Rebel Army made it here?”

“Is it them?” Su Yu’s expression became solemn.

It was unexpected that the Dark Energy Rebel Army would boldly make trouble at the Fige Hub?

It was assumed that, given their size, they wouldn’t dare to be reckless on a Hub Planet since the Dark Energy Rebel Army was not stronger than the Fige Hub, which could summon a massive number of reinforcements.

It turned out to be an underestimation of them; they actually tried to attack the auction, such audacity!
